The new parts distribution centre will be located adjacent to Telsmith’s existing manufacturing facilities in Mequon, Wisconsin, 20 minutes north of downtown Milwaukee.
“The new parts distribution centre will allow Telsmith to better support our customers throughout the world with improved stock levels, ensuring that the right parts are available to meet critical customer requirements,” says Matt Haven, managing director for Telsmith. “We have realised growth over the last several years, which is reflective of the dedication of our 321 employees. This parts distribution centre will allow for expansion well into the future, while also providing the service and support that our customers have come to expect from Telsmith.”

Plans are in place for expanding manufacturing operations into the existing warehouse space once the new Telsmith parts distribution center opens in the spring of 2013. In addition to expanding infrastructure in 2012, Telsmith has increased employment levels by 11%.
